    What is your favourite corner in F1?

    Mine is the 130R because Alonso overtook MS around the outside of the corner. This is something only top drivers can do. No offence to Rosberg, but he tried an 130R overtake on a Torro Rosso in 2010 and failed miserably - proof that only the best can overtake on this corner.

    My other favourites include Eau Rouge, Parabolica and the Wall Of Champions.

    Agree with those Jose mentions, also, the third chicane at Montreal, no real reason, its just really satisfying on games to absolutely nail.

    AMCODOTG: I like Copse too, that overtake was at Woodcote though. Silverstone has some belters, Copse, Maggots, Beckets. Abbey is brilliant now they've added the Arena section, it's going to be the first corner next year.

    Eau Rouge, 130R and Turn 8 (Istanbul, don't think it has a name but everyone knows which one you mean). I quite like turns 1, 2 and 3 at Interlagos, not particularly challenging but they always see some action.

    He didn't nail it there did he though AG? I thought Alonso came out ahead on the pit straight and then Hamilton nailed it at Copse on the same lap?

    Could't find a clip of the Copse bit unfortunately.

    I was sat in the pit straight that year so saw the move on the clip and then when he completed it at Copse. Amazing atmosphere - all for 15th place! Cool all the same.

    I really like the arena section too - but it will take a lot to move me from Stowe now.

    Eau Rouge, 130R, Magotts/Beckett's, Luffield is a good place to sit when at the events, especially with the new section that leads into Brooklands.

    Turn 8, mainly the ones which are very difficult

    For Silverstone, best part is Beckett's
